also, may I mention QRead which is a document reader that supports a
variety of formats including epub, PDF and the microsoft compiled
html (chm) formats. the program is designed by blind people, first
foremost for blind people. The registration process is a bit
cumbersome but worth the time and effort.
The other thing worth mentioning about QRead is that it is unicode
enabled. So, if your document contains those special unicode symbols,
they will be visible in QRead.
What I usually do with my PDFs is to open them in QRead, and then I
copy the text and save it in an ascii or rich text format document,
unless where the PDF also contains visual content of interest which
to be honest is very rare.

Hi Jed,
There's quite a bit to know about navigating PDFs, but some of the
highlights are that they are fairly easily navigable using Adobe
Reader X. You move to next and previous pages using Control-PageUp
and Control-PageDown, respectively. While on a page you read the
text as you would a web page, that is, using browse mode. Also,
Adobe Reader X has its own search function initiated using
Control-Shift-F, and, since this is also a Window-Eyes keystroke,
you must press Insert-B in order to pass it to Adobe Reader X.
